Although, we do recognize the need also for<br> some sort of basic drawing 2D API.</blockquote><div><br>YES! (also a loud "YES" to Joerg)<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Might I recommend trying an "LED"<br> element for the pong ball though? Seems a little more natural for<br> that to be bouncing around than a square block...</blockquote><div><br>Could be for historical reasons? Originally PONG had a square ball. Also, I think that in "real" pong the bats don't detect collision while moving which can be (and is) used by expert players at times as a feature.<br>

I really like the Mini a lot (in fact last week I had to write a short bio for a gig and used the Mini as a text editor because it was at hand and is so pleasantly clean and simple) and consider your work on the HID's interface amongst the clearest and most pleasant to work with sides to ChucK. If you could spare some time to work on this I would be deeply grateful. Chances are that would lead to questions and perhaps exotic bug reports which in turn could lead to barrages of emails and demanding yet more time.... ...but that's how it goes when one has fans. :¬)<br>
<br><br>I wrote many times about respecting how you and the other dev's have a finite amount of time but clearly it can't hurt to mention that I (and others with me!) very much appreciate it when you elect to spend yours on making all these fun toys and expressive instruments for us.<br>
<br>Yours,<br>Kas.<br></div></div>
